De authorising computers or devices

I see no option in the OS to de authorise devices.
There is only an optionto deauthorise all.
I only want to de authorise old devices I no longer own.
Can anyone help?

If you no longer have a device, then you must deauthorize all then reauthroize those you still own.
Before you dispose of a computer or sell it, you should deauthorize it while it is still in your possession.

    Hi I am trying to sync my ip3 but wont allow me to transfer music purchased on the phone to itunes on the laptop. States I have 5 authorised computers on my account but when i  logg into my itunes account it only identifies 1 so i carn't deactive all to start again?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If your sister doesn't know the password for her old ID, and if her old ID is an earlier version of her current ID, she needs to temporarily recreate the old ID so you can delete if from your phone using her current password.  To do this, have her go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with her current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to her old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to her old email address.  You can now use the password for her current ID to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for her old account ID.  After you do this, Next, have your sister recreate her current ID again by going back to https://appleid.apple.com and changing her primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
    Then your can save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to the camera roll on your device, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  You will be prompted to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your device.  If the data is already in another account you can choose Delete.  If you need to migrate it to another account, choose Keep, then choose Merge when signing into the new account.

  • Is it possible to increase the number of authorised computers with itunes.

    Hi with Apple now selling more devices than ever is it possible to increase the number of authorised computers for sharing on iTunes.
    we have 2 x MBP and a 27" iMac 2 x ipads 3 x ipods and 2 x iphones in the house, we would obviously like to share the one account with all of them and I think that seeing the number has not changed in years yet the number of products able to use. It would make sense to at least double the authorised number.

    You are limited to 5 devices. Maybe Home Sharing offers options

  • Authorising computers to play content from iTunes Store...

    I've recently started downloading films, tv shows and the odd album from the iTunes store. I've spent about $200 in the last while, and it's a great service. Something crossed my mind last night...
    I'm currently using my macbook pro to download content, and then I either play it on my macbook or transfer it to my apple tv. All working fine...
    Now, I've decided that I'm going to get a mac mini to use as a media server. I'm going to use it to play dvds, hook an elgato eyetv up to it to record tv, rip my dvd library, and finally I'm going to be able to free up my macbook pro from downloading content and ripping dvds. I'm then going to transfer my apple tv to the bedroom and the mac mini will take it's place in the living room.
    What crossed my mind was, when I set up this server that will make 2 computers that I will need to authorise, my girlfriend's laptop makes 3. I'm not entirely sure if the apple tv counts as one authorisation but it probably does so that makes 4. What happens when I update one of these computers...say get a new macbook pro... then in a couple of years I upgrade the mac mini and maybe get a mac pro too?? I'm going to lose all my content eventually.
    My question 2 questions are:
    1) Can I de-authorise a computer and replace it with another computer?
    or
    2) Do you think after X number of years, apple will unlock old content so that it will play on other computers?
    I hope I can de-authorise computers, otherwise I'll be stuck with these computers if I want to keep this content... I'm now seriously thinking about stopping using the iTunes store. It just seems criminal to spend so much cash on stuff that isn't going to work in a couple of years...

    Hi,
    From iTunes, click Store, then Deauthorize Computer...
    Steve Jobs did announce that they will update iTunes store such that you would have the choice of buying licensed music (i.e. restricted to authorised computers) and license less music (no restrictions).
    The snag was, you would have to pay more for license less music (but, at least you would have the choice).
    Read more about it at http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/04/02itunes.html
    Now, if you find anything that could help me update my iPod firmware, I would be most grateful....
    I hope this answers your questions...
    Regards,

  • ACS not authorising Security Manager devices

    Hi I have a setup ACS 4.1 CS-Manager 3.2.2
    I have intergrated the CS-Manager into ACS with no problems.
    However when I try to add devices into the CS-Manager I get the message "The Device is not in the Cisco Secure ACS"
    I have one wildcard entry encompassing all devices and the CS-Manager (TACACS+ (cisco IOS))
    I am wondering if CS-Manager is not liking the wildcards.
    Unfortunatley as we have 500 or so production devices already using this entry I am not in a position to remove it to test my theory at present.
    Any one know if Wildcards are supported for authorising CS-Manager devices?
    Regards
    Colin

    Assumption: you have CSM's common services integrated correctly into ACS, first with a admin account in acs with full rights and second with the system identity user and pass in the ACS server with full rights as a user (not admin portal) and during the setup of AAA in CS you used the [tick box] to push out the authorization categories from CS into ACS.
    Assumption: you have a super admin group in ACS setup that has full rights to CSM authorization categories that was pushed into ACS from Common Services when you first setup AAA in CS. And you have setup a user that is part of that the ACS super admin group.
    Three things to check.
    1. Under ACS, click the 'Share Profile Components' buttom, check that Common services has pushed out the Authorization categories into ACS, you should see CSM and auto update modules. Drill down into the CSM and check to see which authorization category gives the most access, should be 'System Administrator', make sure that all the tick boxes in this profile is all ticked with no gray or shaded boxes.
    2. The user account your logging into CSM is part of the ACS super user group that you created. Check the ACS super user group is correctly matching the CS-manager authorization categories. i.e make sure that you have matched the group that you checked in my previous point, 'System Administrator' or what ever group you created that gave full rights.
    3. Finally, you must have the device listed in your network device groups in ACS. Remembering that CSM will check against the ACS's NDG lists and WILL also matches against a FQDN, so if you added domain information into a device in CSM then the device listed in ACS will need to be the FQDN, if its not, then remove the domain name info from CSM and test. (EDIT: This might have been fixed in 3.2.2 not 100% sure but it broke my network in 3.1). I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that the wild card might be failing you because it doesnt match between CSM host name and domain name sections to the ACS host name.

    Oh one final test you can try, log into the end device manually using telnet or ssh using the system identity user and pass. Just double check that the account gets access to the device via tacacs and that you can perform enable access type functions using this account.

  • Authorised computers list

    I have 5 authorised computers on my account and want to see a list so that I can delete those related to a failed/broken PC. I cannot use that PC to do it.

    Once you reach 5 authorized computers, you can de-authorize all authorized computers from one of the authorized computers followed by re-authorizing each computer from the computer you need or want authorized.

  • How do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

    how do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

    You can authorise up to 5 computers via iTunes by signing in with your ID.
    On iPads you enter your iTunes/AppStore store ID in Settings if it's not configured or different to your iCloud ID (if you have one).  These do not count as computer authorisations.

  • ITunes says I can authorize 5 computers is that computers or devices ? (iPad, iPod, iPhone.)

    Computers. There's not really "authorizing" for mobile devices.

  • Why are my purchased tunes not available on authorised computers?

    I have 4 authorised computers, and downloaded a purchased CD from iTunes when I was in Victoria (4000 kms away). Now home in Queensland, I can't access this music, or even see it in my list of purchased music. My 'purchased' list wrongly shows it as being my entire playlist.
    Help please.

    Thanks for replying, but I would have thought that having authorised computers would mean that I could access the purchased items from any of those computers. Otherwise, what is the point of authorising them in the first place?
    Does anyone else agree with this?
    And no, I haven't done anything that tricky with an iPod - I don't have one.

  • How can i view my authorised computers

    I seem to have 5 computers authorised - bit strange as I've only got 3!  And I don't want to unauthorise all, and there's no choice to select one to remove.  How can I see which computers are authorised and keep my phone back ups?

    You can't see a list of authorised computers, you can only see how many are authorised. Have you had other computers in the past, or updated/reinstalled the OS on them, without deauthorising them ?
    Deauthorising an individual computer (which you can only do directly on the computer), or deauthorising all, does not remove any content from those computers nor affect backups that are stored on them - all it means is that you won't be able to use that account's downloads on them until you reauthorise the account (which you should be able to do immediately).

  • De-authorising computers for home sharing

    I have had two laptops 'die' recently, and have two replacement ones. Because I have reached my 5 limit on home sharing authorised computers, itunes will not let me set up home sharing on my new laptops - it says I have to de-authorise other computers. I cannot do this because they are dead. How do I fix this - anyone????

    If you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.
    For instructions, see the following document:

    Power off and then back on the router
    What happens when you enter the network's PW?
    Try forgetting/deleting the network if necessary. To do that go to System Preferences>Network>wifi>Advanced and select the network and click on the minus sign
